Bob Falconer: Finding and Trusting Inner Guidance
Continuing our Exploration of the Farther Reaches of IFS
Bob Falconer, co-author with Dick Schwartz of “Many minds, One Self “ offers this workshop focussed on Guides.
Many IFS therapists have sceptical parts connected to this phenomenon and clients may have managing protective parts claiming to be guides. what are we to do with this?
Bob reminds us that the IFS model is a “constraint-release” model and applies that understanding to working with Unattached Burdens (UBs) which he describes as the “Royal Road” to finding guidance. In this workshop he will help IFS therapists to discern what is going on inside and how to differentiate true Inner Guidance from other presentations (parts and/or UBs).
IFS informs us of a radical shift in our understanding of what it is to be human. Bob explores the implications of this shift in the context of his many years of researching and writing about human consciousness.

Dick Schwartz: Stop Killing the Messenger – IFS and Chronic Pain
“There are many reasons that we have physical pain that are not related to our parts, but particularly when our pain is chronic, seemingly intractable, and doesn’t respond to other treatments, it is often being used by parts to get a message to us. The harder we try to kill the pain, the more of it they give us because, often, their message is a crucial one. IFS provides a way to not only listen to that message but also get all our parts on board for making changes that eliminate the need for that message. “

“It turns out that most chronic pain, and an astonishing variety of other medical maladies, have little to do with damaged tissues or untreated infections. They’re maintained by complex mind–body interactions, in which our brain’s natural proclivity to avoid pain traps us.”
“For some clients, pain became a window into a fascinating inner world of parts. When parts trust us to listen to them, they no longer need to use pain to communicate with us…In many cases, allowing these parts to speak transforms the pain and often resolves the disorder entirely.”
Please Join Dick Schwartz, Founder of the IFS Model for this rich exploration of how to work with parts connected to chronic pain.
Given the immensity of the Opioid crisis, Dick Schwartz once again delivers on his promise as a “Hope Merchant”.
